I would presume that for DXCC purposes, Serbia will be the surviving entity
of the former Yugoslavia, and Montenegro would be a brand new one?

Poll: Montenegro quits Serbia

Crowds celebrate in capital as unofficial results show breakup

Sunday, May 21, 2006; Posted: 6:49 p.m. EDT (22:49 GMT)

PODGORICA, Serbia-Montenegro (CNN) -- Montenegro has decided to sever its
union
with Serbia, a move that would break up the last two pieces of the former
Yugoslavia, according to unofficial poll results released Sunday.

The unofficial results found that 55.3 percent of voters opted for the
change,
Journalist Bruce Konviser said. That's slightly more than the 55 percent
approval that the European Union said was required for passage.

"I'm sure that tonight a democratic Montenegro will be celebrated," Prime
Minister Milo Djukanovic said.

Although official results are not expected until Monday, people began
celebrating inside government buildings Sunday night, and fireworks
illuminated
the center of the Montenegrin capital, Podgorica.

At stake is whether Europe will see the formation of a new country.
Montenegro
would be a small, mountainous nation along the Adriatic Sea with a total
population of about 650,000.

Montenegro had been one of six republics within Yugoslavia before the
country's
violent unraveling in 1991.
